manholt Report post Posted March 8, 2020 Jim S. I figured out all by myself, that you probably meant March 30 to April 3rd. We might be able to stop by on our way back from Tucson! 😀 RayIN.

wildebill308 Report post Posted March 9, 2020 Ok,here is a question from the Aquahot rookie. Does it hurt to leave it on electric when it is plugged in? And how often do you run it on diesel? I topped up the tank today so everything is looking good. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted March 9, 2020 Bill, you got Oasis, basically the same as AH. Electric will only work when your on Generator or a 50/30 A plug in! Why do you want it on? Diesel side will work as long as you have more than a 1/4 tank fuel (So it's written). In your case, over 37.5 gallons! When it's on, it should burn about a 1/5 to a 1/4 gallons an hour, when you use furnace, water. I suspect you get HOT water from engine when your on the road, so no elect from Oasis is needed.

dbenoit Report post Posted March 9, 2020 Took the MH for a ride yesterday and filled up the tank. Got home started the genny and no change. Looks like checking the fuel filter and pump is next. 1st scheduled maint. is @ 150 hrs and we are @ 140 hrs. Onward through the fog! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted March 9, 2020 DB, look at your ground wire coming off battery to chassis, are you getting any codes? Have you checked battery? You also have a on/off CB on front top or side of Generator! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted March 9, 2020 Just a suggestion, but for technical problems, you are LOT more likely to get good answers if you post a thread in the appropriate technical section where more "techies" hang out rather than in "Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk".

As long as it's not too cold it will provide hot water and furnace heat. If cold, turn on the diesel burner, it will cycle on and off just like home. Just remember if you have a 400 series, and the diesel is running and providing coach heat, if you turn on the hot water, the furnace shuts off until the demand for hot water stops. If you have a 600 AH, it keeps running no matter what you turn on. According to the manual, the AH uses .4 GPH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering if it would hurt/damage anything if left on electric when plugged into shore power. We have been cleaning and moving stuff and wife likes having the hot water when she turns on the tap. Jim S, thanks for the links. It doesn't look to hard.

We leave the grey open and having both the electric and diesel on give continuous hot water - you don't run out. After I get up and shower I turn the diesel off. If in cold climate diesel is on as we like the nice quiet sound of the AH running instead of a heat pump. As Jim said, they need to be exercised monthly and that should also include turning on the thermostat to heat for a few minutes to let the pumps and exchange get a little exercise. ------------------ On another subject, I had left knee replacement on January 21st. Going to PT 3 times a week. Seems to be healing up nice. I don't like the down time though but should be good to go the first week of April. ----------------------- On another subject, we had a deer mouse get into the coach. Did a lot of damage to the water lines. Coach is in the shop now and already up to $1000 just in evaluation hours. Insurance is covering it except for my deductible. On that note - read you policy. In order to be covered you must physically visit your coach every two weeks. Fortunately we do that as I like to check things and make sure GFI for 110v feed has not tripped. Easy stop on our way to Son's house. He lives about 1 mile from our storage facility which is about 8 miles from our house. Cheers! Happy Day Light Savings Time.

dbenoit Report post Posted March 11, 2020 We have a cruise scheduled for next month. So far we are still a go........ Carnival just gave everyone a $200 on board credit on top of the $100 we already have. That's about a 2 day bar tab, lol. Hopefully everything stays on schedule.

manholt Report post Posted March 11, 2020 Wayne. Since I will have eye surgery May 7th & 15th, I'll wait with my knee until end of Sept. That will give me almost 3 months to recover, before we fly to Norway for Christmas! My Doctor said that I should have full recovery in 5-7 weeks, since I'm not over weight. 223 lb on 6' 7" frame! 😁 When the insurance agent asked about what amount of deductible we wanted on the Newmar...The choice was 0, 500, 1,000, or 2,000, Linda wanted 0, I told him 2,000 & I wanted full replacement coverage on all exterior items on coach...Linda looked at me, like a wet hen, later I goggled our 2 roof electric awnings & price...she got the picture! Since we also have 4 window awnings and 3 AC's with Heat pump...that adds up in a hurry! $2,000 on a summer trip = a month or less! Cost of insurance is the same as 0 deductible. Your right on fine print. Since we live in the country, mice, snakes and other critters is a common enemy. Coach has been here for 4 days and we are loading it, 2 dead mice in a bay. We leave today for NE Texas to pick up our dog, then head out to Tucson! Daisy has spent 3 weeks in training camp with a sister & brother...obidiance and skill competition! The Atomic clocks have not changed yet. DB, only heard about Princess having problems! We have friends on ships all over the world, no Corona on board. Common Flu, Norovirus and colds..yes! That's normal. 😂 Enjoy your time at sea...where are you going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted March 11, 2020 Good luck with the headlight repair and the Ball Joint replacement. With those done you should be good to go in December for your trip. As for Daisy and her going to school with her brother and sister, let us know how that turns out. I have met Daisy and tho very cute she does have a mind of her own and what I remember is that she has a tendency to lead you and Linda not the other way around. Tell her I will have a treat for her in Tucson and she can ride in my cart if she wants to. With the critters on your place sound like you'll need a couple of cats. Really mean cats. We also have an Atomic Clock and we have to change it with the time changes (the radio signal has a hard time getting through our metal building) When and where is the wedding going to take place? And again Congratulations! Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted March 11, 2020 Herman. Wedding? After Tucson, is all I know! From what I have heard Daisy does well on a leash, sit, stay, no tinkle, on/off no bark...failed in here or come as off 5 days ago! All 12 dogs got to play in the pond, then they all came out and one returned to pond and took a dump! Guess who? 😂 Linda & I will work with her, between Gladewater & Tucson! 😎 There are a couple of feral cats that come around, also Roadrunners, coons, armadillos, pole cats and possums...a large pack of coyotes, roam the area.
